1998 Peugeot 106 XN review from UK and Ireland
"Hot little hatchback!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starting problems from cold last winter (2004), but with a new coil pack and spark plugs fitted she has been running fine since.
General wear and tear repairs e.g. exhaust back box, new rear brake shoes, and all three filters changed at 44K.
Seats are a bit uncomtable on long distance runs as I'm 6ft 1! but the interior is very hard wearing.
General comments?
Next to my 1st car (ford Fiesta), the pug 106 is the best car I've owned so far. She may only be a 1.1, but shes very nippy on country roads and motorways, even keeping up with a ford focus 1.8 on the M1!
No complaints in her performance, she purrs at 90 to 100mph with no hassle and I have added some mods to her with no problems e. g alloy wheels, better sound system.
She is great fun to drive and very easy to park up, and cheap to run too! I drove to Lincoln and back with a full tank and used just over half!
An excellent car for learners and 1st time drivers who won't be disappointed with cheap insurance on these motors.
She has been a very loyal motor with no major problems, she runs sweet as a nut and I will keeping her for a long time.
